Griot Podbelsky

A Classic of the Cherry Orchard

Griot Podbelsky is not just a variety; it is a historical quality standard for cherry orchards in Ukraine. This German-origin variety, a hybrid of cherry and sweet cherry (duke), has held its position for decades due to its perfect balance of flavor and aesthetics. It remains a reliable choice for gardeners who value time-tested genetics.

Agronomic Profile

• Harvest Period: Ripening occurs from the third decade of June to the first decade of July.
• Fruit: Large berries weighing 6–8 g with a distinct dark red, almost wine-like hue.
• Taste: A pronounced sweet-and-sour profile with very juicy flesh makes this variety a favorite for fresh consumption.
• Yield: The tree shows stable productivity, yielding 10–25 kg per mature tree.

Although the stone separates only partially from the flesh, it does not diminish consumer demand. This variety is ideal for those seeking a dessert-type cherry. Its reputation as a classic variety is supported by its adaptation to local climatic conditions in Ukraine, making it a predictable and straightforward choice for a successful harvest.
